Kodi guide - All the devices you own that can run this streaming app

KODI is legal if used correctly and here's all the devices that can run this streaming software.

Since Kodi, and other streaming devices hit the market, around 12 months ago, paid-for TV providers have come under significant pressure with one in seven users of the platforms – around 830,000 people – having already cancelled at least one subscription service.

Even more worrying for pay TV channels is that around 2.6 million people who don't currently have a streaming box are expect to start accessing pirated content in the future.

It seems many UK consumers are switching to free illegal streams because of money.

With some subscriptions costing around £100 per month, some people simply can't afford to carry on paying.

One person thinking of abandoning their subscriptions in favour of using a pirated streaming platform told YouGov they had “mixed feelings” about the move as it would be “likely to increase prices for others.”

Speaking about their service a Sky spokesperson said: “There’s never been more choice in pay-TV, letting customers choose the package that best suits their needs.

"At Sky we offer something for everyone, from our pay-as-you-go, no contract streaming service, NOW TV, which offers a Sky Sports Day Pass for just £6.99, to the best TV experience in the world with Sky Q, available from £20”.

However, they felt that sports streams are “ripping of the consumer and can see why people feel justified” in avoiding pay TV services.

For anyone unaware, Kodi software is not illegal and the company behind it are actually trying to distance themselves from pirated content.

However, the software can be changed with third-party add-ons providing access to pirated illegal of content.

Some Kodi "fully loaded" boxes have these third party apps already installed and it is the use of these platforms that we have assessed here.

This ruling will give the league the ability to block servers which are broadcasting the games - stopping users of Kodi devices from tuning in for free.

Until now, rights holders could only close individual streams which could easily be restarted via a new server.

Speaking about the new order a spokesman for Premier League said: "For the first time this will enable the Premier League to disrupt and prevent the illegal streaming of our matches via IPTV, so-called Kodi, boxes."
